The keyboard music of Spain in the first half of the twentieth century
This dissertation is, in the main, a critical survey of the piano music of Spain from 1900 to 1950. Because most of the opinions expressed are personal, bibliography is negligible. Occasional references to books consulted have been noted as the script proceeds and not at the end of the work. Certain...

| description | This dissertation is, in the main, a critical survey of the piano music of Spain from 1900 to 1950. Because most of the opinions expressed are personal, bibliography is negligible. Occasional references to books consulted have been noted as the script proceeds and not at the end of the work. Certain Cape Town people have been extremely helpful during the period when this dissertation was being planned and written, and to them I would like to express grateful thanks. Firstly to Prof. G. Pulvermacher, Head of the Cape Town College of Music, for gracious guidance and advice. Then to Deanna Blacher for the loan of some of her vast library of Spanish piano music and the many instructive and pleasant hours spent in her company. Another Cape Town teacher of Spanish dancing, Mavis Becker, kindly allowed me to attend several of her classes where I was able to absorb a genuine atmosphere with assistance and advice from her guitar accompanists. Also helpful were Estelle de la Ville, who studied in Spain and knew Manuel de Falla personally, and Reg de la Hunt, who showed me many of the finer points of guitar technique. It has been impossible in a thesis such as this to analyse all the piano music of Spain written from 1900 to 1950. The quantity of published music runs into several hundred pieces and quality varies considerably. I have, therefore, selected representative works from the various composers. This will, I hope, give an insight into their styles and characteristics. |
